Perspectives

A Christian wrote a letter to the editor of the newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday.

"I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me I can't remember a single one of them. So I think I'm wasting my time ... and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."

This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor.

It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:

"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But for the life of me, I cannot recall what the menu was for a single one of those meals. I do know this: they all nourished me and gave me strength. If my wife had not given me those meals, I would be dead today."

That pretty much ended the discussion.

Humor is good!

An accident involving a bus packed with politicians happened on a lonely road at night next an old farmer’s ranch. The next morning, the farmer called in the police. When the unit commandant inspected the scene, he asked the farmer about the passengers on the bus. “They were all dead, I buried them” Officer, “They were ALL DEAD?! How did you know they were all dead?” Farmer, “Well, most showed no signs of life. Some said they were alive, but you know how politicians lie all the time. So I buried them all anyway”.
